Rise Up (2013)

Rise Up is a new collection of songs taken from Banner Theatre’s productions: Fighting the Cuts (2010 to 2012) and In A Right State (2013 to 2015).

The songs deliver a punchy soundscape of reggae, rap, folk and blues to lay bare the real story behind the economic crisis, and support the campaign to defend our welfare state.
